Kevin Cash was pretty solid at catching him, there weren't many passed balls
He allowed 60 walks in 181 IP, an average of 0.33 walks per inning. Compatively, Jon Lester walked 66 in 210 IP, an average of 0.31 walks per inning. Pretty much a wash and I don't think anyone would complain about Lester's walks.
If he left the ball on a tee, he'd have a much worse ERA than 4.13 and would have allowed a lot more than 1.2 HRs per 9 IP
yea, he's frustrating to watch cause he throws 65 MPH and is easy to steal on but year in and year out you know you're getting 180 IP, 10-12 wins and a low to mid 4s ERA from him and for $4 mil, these days thats a hell of a bargain
